Zelex 153B SLE 2.0 w/ ZXE208_1 first impressions.

[lawlington]

Was an instock doll at one of the larger vendors during the Zelex sale, just delivered today. The box arrived with the head bolted into a piece of wood fixed to the outside of the box, so the doll was secure during shipment. Don't have pics yet but might take some soon.

First Inspection

No rips or tears visible.

Minor indentations in the middle of the thigh and arms. Not sure if this will 'go away' on its own or be a permanent.

Body very detailed and entirely soft, reminiscent of the cheaper TPE doll I'd bought years ago.

Detailed Inspection

Upon setting the doll up, I dressed her in some clothing. [I think I will call her Cassandra.] Initially I thought it was a good idea to get fishnets but soon discovered that fishnets come in airtight containers and are surprisingly difficult to put onto the doll, so I canceled that idea after fussing with it for awhile. The 'attraction' I have towards this doll is far greater than the lack thereof I felt for a less expensive TPE doll that was a nonamer. Basically a rudimentary Amazon tier doll. The head is especially detailed, the lips glossy, but I can tell that if the head is used it will look rougher - and fast.

I wasn't easily able to get her to stand freely, the joints are rather stiff but not too difficult to move. It is just... awkward.

LH Inspection

Against my better judgement, my first goto was to try the head actually. The head has an array of features - teeth that aren't hard nor too soft, a much softer tongue, tonsils at the back of the mouth, and no throat. It is maybe 4-5 inches deep. And I must say, the head was one of the best experiences I've had with male toys and I've tried many of them. Once you get in there, suction is created and there are pleasantly 'different' textures, but you have to tread carefully. I have a somewhat thick girth, and after ONE use the very corners of the lips are slightly cracked. The 208 head will henceforth be the one for such practices; there is a 207_1 head coming with it but it will arrive later. Even while taking care and slowly approaching the head, there was a lot of sensation, it was remarkable.

Then onto the primary LH...

One thing that was striking was the persistent tightness [moreso around the entrance] coupled with the fact that the first application of water based lube never dried out or got sticky during the ~ 10 minute ordeal. The best way to explain it is like TPE except with a more realistic feel, if it wasn't cold it truly would have been very similar to a RW. There's even a bit of a different texture when you get deep enough, almost like a tongue. And the best part was that I didn't feel a contrasting stickiness like I did with the TPE material.

Early Conclusion

After my first doll purchase of the amazon-tier cheap doll, I had such buyer's remorse that I lost interest in dolls [mostly.] I'd occasionally look at the nicer ones, but after the experience I had - especially with the [more difficult than this doll] cleanup, I felt it was a hassle. But I decided to give it another go with the Zelex 153b, and it's immediately changed my perspective.

At least for now nothing sticks to the doll due to moisture. I.E, your touch, skin, etc. The gel butt/breasts are very soft, but don't really get to enjoy them too much given the size of the doll. [I knew she would be short at 5 ft. She is proportionately narrow as well.]

It was 1800 for the doll and 2 heads, over 2x what I paid for the TPE.

The LH's are almost too good. If dolls can 'feel' better than the 153b, color me astonished - because of this factor, I consider the purchase [as of 2/7/2025] a 9.5/10

Thanks for taking the time to write up such a great review.
Glad you're happy with your new lover!

Great to hear! Though I've never owned one myself, there have been numerous anecdotal reports that Zelex SLE vaginas are on the harder end of the "soft silicone pussy" spectrum. Assuming that's true, it still doesn't necessarily mean they aren't as much—or more—realistic than most others. Yes, there is such a thing as a doll pussy that is too soft.

In any event, congrats! Dolls tend to be non-trivial expenditures and it's always good to see a buyer satisfied and happy with their choice.

I have recently purchased a 153B Zelex SLE 2.0 doll and would like to do a point by point comparison with my Kimber Deluxe TPE Doll for everyone's benefit. I truly love (loved) my Kimber Deluxe but got tired of my skin allergies to TPE which range from irritation to at times; scary and near disabling. This is my first Silicone doll, ever. My SLE 2.0 doll arrived 10 days after purchase. The box was utterly destroyed during transport and re-taped (barely) but the nice foam core protected my doll except for a single skin damage (pic uploaded).

Subject: Appearance-To me, Kimber is more realistic in appearance than Zelex. Zelex has seams showing and appears more rigid.
Subject: Feel-Kimber is more realistic to touch, with Zelex you can immediately feel it is a doll with seams. TPE is simply softer.
Subject: Skin Color-Both are tan color but Zelex is a more realistic shade, not reddish in hue like Kimber.
Subject: Flexibility-Kimber is much more flexible, Silicone doll limb positioning requires a lot of effort and seems Mannequin-like to me.
Subject: Weight-surprisingly Zelex is much lighter. This is the first doll since my Teddy Babes that I can carry around the house and position how I want.
Subject: Height- This Zelex doll is 5'1 compared to 5'3 Kimber. Both are good for me at 5'7".
Subject: Piercing-Attaching a nose ring, navel ring etc.. was about the same with the Zelex and Kimber.
Subject: Pubic Hair Patch-Attaching by Elmer's enhanced glue was about the same with Zelex and Kimber. Removing also the same.
Subject: Hands and feet-Zelex hands as well as feet are much more rigid than Kimber's. Zelex hands and feet do look slightly better.
Subject: Thighs-Zelex thighs are much more full and real-looking -surprising since zelex is significantly lighter than Kimber.
Subject: Breasts-both dolls have very nice Gel breasts Zelex breasts are super super soft while Kimbers are more firm. Both are good.
Subject: -Aerola- both Zelex and Kimber fail to have realistic aerolas with appropriate coloring, bumps etc. Both have very small nipples.
Subject: Butt-Zelex has tiny gel buttocks which feel better to the touch, Kimber's butt is firmer and more realistic in appearance and size.
Subject: Vagina-Zelex has a better appearing Vagina but Kimber's is softer with a more realistic feel. Both are good partner's though.

Note: I have not yet received the Zelex head as it was shipped incorrectly. My Pic has a WM Miki TPE head.

Thanks to you both from someone who is looking to buy their first doll which will be a SLE 2.0

I think it's better than I never tried a TPE so that the lack of softness in comparison won't feel like a downgrade for me. Not worth the maintenance effort, anyway, personally.

I'm disappointed not to be seeing the 208 head which is my favorite...
